ENGINEERING LCDR YERGER CHIEF ENGINEER Engineering Department is made up of five divisions which are responsible for dam- age control organization, propulsion, ship ' s electrical power, water supply and shipboard repairs. A-Gang is made up of Enginemen, Ma- chinist Mates and Machinery Repairman. A- Gang performs emergency and necessary repairs onboard to refrigeration, air condi- tioning, the scullery and laundry. They also produce machinery parts to keep ADAMS ' steaming. E Division consists of two groups; Elec- trician Mates and Interior Communication- men. The EM ' S are responsible for all electri- cal circuits and systems onboard. The IC ' s tend to the ship ' s telephone system, sound powered phones and the gyro compass. They also conduct maintenance on various alarm systems onboard ADAMS. Turning water into steam Is no easy task, it ' s the hot job of the BT ' s of EB Divi- sion. Using four 1200 PSI Boilers, the BT ' s work long and strenuous hours in high tem- peratures to keep ADAMS ' steaming. EM Division is comprised of Machinist Mates who spend their time tucked away in the depths of the Enginerooms. Th MM ' s are responsible for the ship ' s engines, as well as main electrical generators and high pressure air systems vital to ADAMS ' weapons systems. They also maintain the evaporators to keep the fresh water tanks full. Hull Technicians make up ER Division. The HT ' s take care of welding, plumbing, and sheet me tal projects. They are also the Dam- age Control experts, and fill the main billets on essential fire parties. 62
